Track 4:
Recap of discussion so far
Why take Collagen Proteins specifically?
#1 It’s natural
#2 Amino Acids
Let’s explain FURTHER.
#1….
Why you need Collagen—anyone over the age of 20 needs to be supplementing with collagen.
It’s bioidentical for you rather than other proteins that are not natural to the body. And it’s hypoallergenic!
After you turn 20/25 you lose 1% of your collagen PER YEAR…
By Mid Fifties = 30% loss… and remember collage is 90% of you body makeup!
MANY Things break down your collagen such as stress, sun, climate changes, eating white excessive white flours, caffeine, etc.
#2…
Amino acid structures VARY in different protein types.
162% more arginine than whey protein.
in the triple helix structure, the middle strand is hydroxy proline that keeps the collagen together. This is NOT available in any other proteins!
Hydroxy Lysine is unique ONLY to collagen — not found ANYWHERE else…
#3
High Nitrogen Amino Acids.
—> when your body is breaking down more protein than you are taking in— you are in a catabolic state. (negative state)
—> when your body is taking in more protein than you are taking in— you are in an anabolic state. (positive state)
5 High Nitrogen Amino Acids:
Glycine - sleep
Lysine
Arginine
Hydroxy proline
Hydroxy lysine
All responsible for maintaining and repairing muscle tissue in the body…
Collagen has:
451% more Glycine than 1 serving of whey
333% more Argine than 1 serving of whey
162% more Proline than 1 serving of whey
2 Grams Hydroxy Proline — NOT IN WHEY
2 Grams Hydroxy Lysine — NOT IN WHEY
Other proteins are STILL VERY IMPORTANT
Needed for Macronutrients!
Collagen is medicinal and only needed in small amounts to be beneficial
